Abstract

JUDGE FITZWATER: Good morning, everyone. On behalf of Judge Jeffrey S. Sutton, and the members of the Committee on Rules of Practice and Procedure of the Judicial Conference of the United States, my colleagues on the Advisory Committee on Evidence Rules, and our Committee Reporter, Professor Dan Capra, welcome to the Symposium on the Challenges of Electronic Evidence. We are indebted to the University of Maine School of Law for its willingness to host this symposium, not once, but twice, because we were scheduled to hold the symposium last October before the government shutdown caused it to be cancelled. I want to particularly thank Dean Peter Pitegoff and Professor Deirdre M. Smith for making the symposium possible and for the warm welcome our committee has received. I also want to thank our colleague on the Evidence Committee, Chief Judge John A. Woodcock of the District of Maine for his gracious hand in ensuring a successful symposium and meeting of the Evidence Rules Committee. This is the third in a series of symposia that the Evidence Rules Committee has convened. In 2011, we held a symposium at the William & Mary Marshall-Wythe College of Law on the then-newly-adopted Restyled Rules of Evidence.
